Chrysler Wants Em To Star In More Commercials?

[ShadyVsEminem]

@ShadyVsEminem - So what if he's not Bill Gates? You don't need infinite money.

Why would you sell-out in a heart beat, seriously think about that.

If you're a public figure, especially on such a huge scale - integrity, respect - these crucial sorts of perceptions on you, if you lose them, in a big way, they're almost impossible to regain.

So, you'd literally sacrifice that just for money, to buy material goods you would get bored with (100%) in a certain matter of time. Once you have a certain amount of money, ie. the immense amount he has - hundreds of million, you're talking... total freedom.

As long as you don't want to snort 50 grams of high-grade cocaine and go on a world cruise everyday (I would actually ) - then you don't need anymore money. Would you like to be viewed as a total clown like 50 or Paris Hilton. Somebody who is DEFINED by money or 'profile' for its own sake. Shallow, cringing and pathetic.

Nothing wrong with getting rich but do it WITH integrity. Don't sell yourself out, it's fucking embarrassing, and you would definitely regret it. If you're worth spit. There are many ways for example Em could make money behind the scenes without anybody even knowing. SOOO many, very very easy ways actually. There's no need to do this.

It hasnt effected Jay Z or 50 Cent in the slightest,and think of the crack dealing past 50 came from now he is dabbling in anything he thinks he can make a buck out of Eminem isnt near those extremes

If anyone was offered a million to do a commercial they should severely consider taking there hand off,he promoted Brunos movie for free in the most unbelievable way so he might aswell recoup the losses

I'd only like the ads where he appeared in person...That tea one was blatant abuse of status tbh...
Not saying I didn't like the puppet ad, but I'm just sayin' that it would make him appear like a cash cow if he kept on doing ads like that.

I didn't say it'd affect Em. Obviously adverts aren't going to destroy the EMINEM brand, I never said it would. I just said it's selling-out.

And, what Jay-Z does is entirely different. Entrepreneurship is noble, it's not selling-out. It's using business clout and having ambition, nothing wrong with that. And it's what Em did with Shady Records, Shade 45 and Shady Ltd. - Expanded within his art, branching with related interest in fields of passion and personality to make money, and grow.

But whoring your name out to endorse something, isn't business. It's prostitution. Degrading, pathetic and desperate. And Eminem isn't those things, and never has been. That's why it's so bad.

And it has affected 50 Cent with some things. Slapping his name on perfume? Reality TV show? He's a clown. But he's always been an unashamed money / fame whore, who loves the attention and flashing his big money stacks the shameless fool. But Em's better than that, that's why it matters.

There is nothing nobler about what Jay Z is doing,signing a shitty X Factor reject is his last noble move i guess if there is any nobility in it

Who cares, I don't care about Jay-Z. You're going off the ball. You're also disputing the quality of a signing, has nothing to do with what we're talking about. I said Entrepreneurship is noble. Doesn't mean every move he makes is noble, means the intent behind it is.

We're talking about Eminem here, fuck Jay-Z the guy is a hack anyway I never liked him.

Two wrongs don't make a right, doesn't matter what other people do, we're talking about Em and he has... had more integrity than any of those guys combined. That's why it matters. You expect it of 50 Cent, you expect it of X. They're whores.

[ShadyVsEminem]

He got paid to do 2 adverts,the Chrysler one used his own music and was promoting the city he obviously cares about(definitely no harm done with that one),the other one made fun of why he has waited this long to do any in the 1st place.He`s not quite at the David Beckham phase yet but we will see how things develop

[EminemBase]

@***** - Why can't you realize you've said that 100 times and I disagree.

So why do you keep repeating it, I'm talking to somebody else, not you.

Sure, the millions of dollars was just an 'extra', just a passing thought, I'm sure his love of Chrysler and Lipton Ice Tea, or the ad spot itself were the motive . If it was the ad spot itself and to be on during Superbowl - am sure he could of done something himself. He ENDORSED things = MONEY = GET IT.

[ShadyVsEminem]

If i was in a position to do adverts for big money id jump at the chance,i would not work with the like of Drake and Nicki Minaj though especially when in a position most rappers would work with you

[Emadyville]

I feel he did it because it was about detroit, and that message was clear and stated by HIM, I don't see a problem with the original commercial. If he continues to rep detroit in these ads, if they happen, I also dont have a problem with that. I think as fans we worry too much about reputation and what this means, but after almost 12 years in the mainstream, he is only now doing it, which I think should also be considered.

[Manly Moose]

@xnoxiousx - Lmao. It's so ironic when people say "how is it selling-out?" then emphasize it's about money.

The key word is SELLING out. He's associating himself he wouldn't otherwise associate himself with - publicly, as a spokesmen, endorsing it FOR money. THAT is selling-out.

Say you don't have a problem with it, but it ISSSS selling-out.

What if he actually wants to do it. To me selling out would be endorsing N'Sync, not endorsing cars.

[EminemBase]

^ Yeah but you keep talking AT me, with the same point.

As if I haven't acknowledged it. You already made that point numerous times. I acknowledged it, and disagreed with it. So it's redundant to make the same point at me again and again.

Well no that's a double-standard. Taking millions of dollars to endorse ice tea, is selling-out. As he wouldn't be associating his name with it, if NOT for the money, HENCE the money, therefore the main / only real motive IS the money - aka SELLING out.

^ how do u kno Em doesnt like ice tea ? loool how do u kno he liked the concept of the ad and the fact the the only other ppl to ever do it was Ozzy Osbourne & Frank Sinatra..?? why wud his ONLY motivation be money if he has millions of it ???

lol just cos ur a DIE hard Eminem fan doesnt mean u kno him personally

I don't KNOW that, but I think it's naive to assume he seriously did that ad because he loves the ice tea so much. He's very shrewd, he's well-aware of what a sell-out is and, I believe even said in The Way I Am (book) he's not about endorsing products etc. It was a needless compromise.

Do you think he'd endorse them for free? No, it's c ash thing. He might very well even like ice tea but get serious man. He probably did it to raise his profile before launching new artists. But it's still whoring your name out.

I'm sure he likes a lot of things, but he doesn't go around endorsing them 24/7. Obviously money is the incentive. His justification for using autotune on Relapse (even though it was ironic) was 'everyone else is doing it'. So I bet he probably thought that about ads, but found a way to flip it just enough but said 'fuck it everyone else is doing it', and it's an insane amount of money.

Also switched to popular producers and... I just think he's beginning to worry he's losing touch with things and is just following the crowd a lot now.

[slicknickshady]

LOL at anybody thinking Em sold out.

Listen to Tool - Hooker With A Penis.

All you know about me is what I've sold you,
Dumb fuck.
I sold out long before you ever heard my name.

I sold my soul to make a record,
Dip shit,
And you bought one.

If you think what Em is doing is Selling Out...Then he sold out right when he signed his deal with Interscope.
